Do you like old school deathmatch with modern features but none of the frills that have ruined the raw purity of the genre? How about rich, colorful, arcadelike atmospheres? How about...retro Sci Fi? Then you're going to love what Alien Arena has in store for you! This game combines some of the very best aspects of classic deathmatch, and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique. Alien Arena is a furious frag fest with arenas ranging from the small, to the massive. With game modes such as Capture The Flag and Tactical, there are terrific team-based experiences to be had as well as 1v1 duels, free-for-all, and dozens of mutators to alter the game play to your liking. The community is friendly, as well as prolific. Dozens of maps, models, and various accessories have been created by community members to add on to the game experience.

Thanks, there is still alot being done with it. We were hoping to release in early September, but it's been pushed back a bit because we have the renderer ripped apart laying about in little bits :) Been alot of optimizations as well, I personally am getting nearly double the framerates since 7.0 was released.

The tourney is just about full, there are a handful of slots left. We extended the signup date to August 24th, so if anyone wants in on this, they have only a little time left.
